I found this site some time ago, I think another member linked to it,...

http://a6retrofit.com/mmi-2g-navigat...d-europa-2014/

Followed the guide and BOOM, easy peasy.

If you do a search I'm sure you'll find links on here to the 2015 maps too.

Old thread I know but looks like the OP has a digital tuner and can pick up soarview audio as the audi tuner is mpeg2 only. Saorview video is broadcast in mpeg4.

OP I got the latest nav disc off ebay for €10 or so. Just pop it in and let it do its thing, nothing to mess up really.

I also have the latest MMI 5570 on disc (genuine from audi). You get 3D on the maps if you want to run it in your car. I'm near Kells.

HI there...just saw this reply now..many thanks.

Yes, you're right. It's a 2G unit as I can only get Audio and the dealer confirmed that it's not upgradeable...

Would you do a deal on the new MMI so I can get the 3D maps? The maps on it right now are awful and out of date...

And yes, I'm in Southern Ireland

You can come up to me in kells and run the mmi update yourself for free. I'll talk you through it but its at your own risk. It takes a while to do.

Get the 2015 nav disc off ebay and just pop it in and let it reboot. Couldn't be easier. The part number to search on ebay is 4E0 060 884 DT

easy fix is to go to gps underground and download the latest available/supported content for your MMI type/version [via torrent]... and you could use something like image burn to create the disk/s. I have a 2014 version that came over 2 x DVDs, one for Western and the other for Eastern Europe... very useful and handy.

hope that helps...

Yeah thats an option but you'd nearly get it off ebay for not much more than the price of two good discs. Mine was €12 delivered and works great.

By the way lads, Éire (Gaelic) or Ireland (English) is the official name of our great little country. Northern Ireland is the official name of the jurisdiction of the UK.

Hi Guys ,

I got the Nav discs from ebay but my system wont recognize them, even through I succeeded in updating the MMi. The seller sent me a replacement set which didn't work either. It seems copied discs don't work well if the lazer is weak. I think I will try a cleaning disc and see if it makes any difference.

I'm in "Éire or Ireland" as well. Not many A8's near me (Naas) although Kells is not that far.

I've read here ( and here: http://a6retrofit.com/mmi-2g-navigat...d-europa-2014/ ) about folks having problems with copied discs. I've never had an issue, and have so far used 2014/15/16 discs.

The site I linked to recommends lense cleaners, and these do seem highly effective. So I'd definitely give that a whirl.

Hope you have more luck soon.
